As far as I know the SGC and Atlantis are the only ones to use MALPs to look at what is on the other side of the gate. Other races use the two gate systems so what do they use?
One could say that the Gou'ald just chuck Jaffa through gates and see if they come back but what about other advanced races?
And really, even though the Ancients built the gates and put them on planets themselves wouldn't they build some kind of remote survey drone with a camera? Surly they didn't explore every corner of every planet. Ok, they may have had time to do that if they were in the MW for millions of years but planets will also change over millions of years.
Furthermore, couldn't they have built a camera system into the gates themselves? Surly they knew all the different signals that can go back and forth through an active wormhole.
